I think that I didn’t enjoy this book, and found it hard to read for one reason. It was to mature, it dealt with concepts I have nothing to do with, so I found it hard to relate to. For someone who has lost love I can see how this book would be appealing, and for someone who could find the deeper meaning. Something I struggled to do.

“The zahir is the “one” – your equal – your mate, your soulmate, the yin to your yang. I was struck by this romantic notion throughout the book.”
